Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
Things You'll Need:
- bonded nylon thread, i use #B size.
- beading needle, these are long and very thin to fit thru the holes in the beads or pearls
- clasp of some sort if you wish to be able to take it off, especially for a bracelet.
- patience, if its worth fixing, its worth fixing right.
-
Step 1
First, place all your beads in a tray or use a disposible type food keeper. Your thread should be cut roughly 36" long, and threaded into your beading needle.
-
Step 2
Second, take one bead and slide it all the way to the end of your thread and tie it there to keep the rest from sliding off. Often I use a bead that I wont be using in this necklace, as it will be discarded when done.
-
Step 3
Now thread your beads or pearls onto your needle in the order you wish them to be. Once you are satisified with the lenght, if its a bracelet, attach your findings securely. If it is a necklace, tie off ends together with a double square knot.. I usually add a spot of jewelers glue to secure the knot.
